I sold my first horse Symba when my dad had a massive stroke. I had to give up work to care for him and Symba reluctantly went out on loan, and came back, and went out on loan, and came back. He was quite a quirky character and hard to love!
In the end the stress off him coming and going for both of us forced me to sell him. He went to an amazing home not far from me so I can still visit. I regret selling him so much I cannot tell you.
Anyway, the reason I ask this is I am considering selling my mare. She has knocked all of my confidence and I cannot bond with her. I have tried many things and there is just no trust or bond there. I feel sad that I may sell her, but at the same time I know I will never get out of her what she is capable of and its not fair on either of us.
I dont think I will regret selling her as there is no real bond there, but just wondered what other peoples experiences of selling a horse you feel you cant trust/bond with are? x
